One of the best things about the festive period can be the winter displays we see all around; whether it be in shop windows, at Christmas markets or just around on the streets. Once the winter displays start to appear you know it’s starting to get festive. Putting up the sizeable displays, however, can sometimes be a challenge in itself. Not only is setting it up taxing, but also ensuring that it lasts well throughout the festive period and does the job it’s supposed to, is also vital. It seems that each year businesses get even more into the festivities with department stores and retailers releasing their Christmas adverts and large window displays which really draw a crowd.
Powering the Display
If you want your winter display to draw in the crowds you want to make sure it is properly powered. Therefore, it is important to have the right generators to power your display. To figure out how much power you need, you will first need to add up the requirements of all the equipment which needs to be powered and go from there. Generators are necessary in order to ensure you display stays powered, to avoid disappointment.
Putting up Decorations
The last thing you want is to risk health and safety to put up your decorations. Whether you’re hanging lights from a building or decorating a large Christmas tree, it is important to have the right access equipment to make it as safe as possible. Access towers provide you a safe and stable platform to stand on whilst you hang decorations, meaning you can decorate peacefully knowing that you’re not at risk of falling.
Lighting the Area
There isn’t much point in having a grand winter display if nobody can see it when it gets dark out. Therefore, it’s important to have the correct lighting. Lighting towers will ensure the area is lit at night and that passers by can admire the display in its full glory. Even if the display contains lights, it is a good idea to hire lighting towers or work lights so that passers-by and visitors can see clearly where they are going.
